This course is designed to build an understanding of adolescent development and apply that knowledge to practice as teachers of adolescent learners. It is intended to create teachers who are more informed and better prepared to respond to the abilities, behaviors, and needs of adolescent learners. To that end, residents will explore adolescent development through an examination of their physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development. In addition, as teachers of adolescents in urban communities, they will also examine how issues related to race and gender identity inform and impact the development of nurturing and productive classroom environments that create inclusive learning spaces for all students
